After some business meetings in Ottawa recently, I was out for a quick dinner and then over to the Parliament Buildings to see the first night of the annual light show for the Christmas Holidays. There were fireworks, a choir singing and the projection of Christmas scenes on the main building facade. We arrived a little late, and I was still able to get a few quick shots of Centre Block lit up in the festive spirit, but it was the smoke clearing from the fireworks display and the crowd pouring off Parliament Hill through the gates and onto Wellington with traffic still flowing that caught me photographer's eye. It looked more like crowds fleeing a fire than families who had come in the Christmas spirit to listen to the choir and see the lights.

Here's what the light show looked like with the smoke clearing off in the night breeze.
